I don't agree to that. It's certainly not "The thinking person's
science fiction movie", but it does contain a lot of references to
various questions of philosophy. Maybe "The not-particularly-thinking
person who would nonetheless enjoy a palatable introduction to certain
deep thoughts's blockbuster action movie".
